Reverend Pippa White, 29, started her channel just a year ago as a way to connect with younger generations after moving to a parish in Shropshire.

The former barmaid, now known as “The Tiktok Vicar”, has since gained tens of thousands of followers on the platform.

Pippa’s content ranges from lighthearted glimpses into her life at St Alkmund’s Church to attending Taylor Swift concerts and playing rugby.

The Church of England priest expressed her desire to represent young women in the church and promote faith among Generations Z and Alpha.

Originally from Norfolk and now living in Whitchurch, Pippa revealed that it was her sister who first suggested she become a “TikTok vicar”.

She said: “When I moved to Whitchurch, I was like ‘well, maybe I'll give it a go.”

Despite her initial videos not gaining much traction, Pippa enjoyed making them for her own amusement. However, when one of her videos went viral, she decided to continue creating content.

She described the experience as “a mostly a very joyous thing, which is really fun.”

With 20,000 followers on TikTok, Pippa’s videos strike a balance between comedy and education, allowing her to engage with a younger audience.
